Thanks so much for the info!!! All the best from Hong Kong!
All the best to you as well. How is everything going over there?! Hope this finds you well.
Wish I heard this advice years ago and had read all the information you're providing. It would have helped out that long career road.
Richard Buehn glad you’re at least finding it useful now brother. We appreciate your support
One after another, great advice and resources! Brett, I must give you my words of upmost appreciation and respect for everything you do for coaches and leaders out there. Every time a new podcast episode, reflection, video, and any other resource comes out, I'm always incredibly grateful. Keep doing what you're doing and I'll make sure to put everything into practice and keep learning and growing.
Thanks so much Hugo!! Glad the subjects are resonating. The word of mouth from folks like you is how our work continues to spread and be possible!! Hope to see you at one of our workshops soon artofcoaching.com/apprenticeship/

@@hugom2418 We love hearing that. Stay safe in the meantime
@@hugom2418 we going to see you this year?! Hope you’re doing amazing.
Awesome content! I’m 40 years old been a trainer since 2003. I’ve worked in private performance facilities and learned a ton working along side Strength coaches, Physios , Physical therapists and only now getting my bachelors degree in Kinesiology. Never too late i guess. Any seminars coming soon ?
A lot in the works for 2021. Stay up to date here: artofcoaching.com/begin/
I would start with NSCA 💪to start my career as assistant football coach or strength & condition coach.
Thanks for sharing this!
I‘m interested in a CSCS and a CPSS, i would like to work with athletes but also interested in fields like sport performance science. Can you add certifications later?
Absolutely. It all just depends on where you’re trying to work (high-school, college, pro, private etc.) each will have their own requirements or standards. CSCS is imperfect (what isn’t) but is most widely recognized in the US. I cover more of this on my podcast as well. artofcoaching.com/podcast/
Do you suggest the NASM pes for someone that didn’t go to college and wants to get to the collegiate level or pros ?
Best for you to take a look at the minimum requirements for those positions.
Typically they will look for and mandate something from the NSCA but not always. Every situation and job posting will be a bit different so just do your research and don’t hesitate to reach out to the organization if you’re curious. It will show you’re proactive
Is the NASM PES certification a good one as well?
Sure! Just depends on your goal for employment. You should always check and see what the job postings require. Otherwise you’ll chase your tail.

So should you get a master in strength and conditioning or is that a waste of time
Depends on your goal- if you want to work in the collegiate setting you will likely need it.
However- you do not need it to become a strength coach in all settings.
The most important thing is having your degree (most job postings require it along with a recognized cert which also needs a degree) you also NEED firsthand experience. Too many uneducated coaches out there doing nonsense and also plenty of OVEReducated coaches with no real experience.

I’m going to be honest . I’m betting on myself I graduated at 23 I waited a year to try and save I’m 24 . I coach football now but I want be a strength coach and get high level experience so I can go bsck to the highschool level but to get that experience Would I have to go to grad school ? Is my thing idk I have no guidance in this me and twin brother are the first in our family to do this and idk what to do
I see so many strength coaches these days who can’t or never have actually trained heavy then I see them with their athletes and I cringe… I recently refused to let someone at my sons school coach them and took it upon myself who has an 1800+ lb total and now I have his teammates parents asking what I charge. I’m an electrician by trade and I’d think I would want certs of some kind to cover my ass. A lot of trainers out there gets certs with no real world experience
Thanks for sharing your perspective! Hopefully these resources have helped. The perspective of a lot of coaches who have trained and done the work can be found here: www.amazon.com/Conscious-Coaching-Science-Building-Buy/dp/1543179479/ref=nodl_
Keep finding ways to make folks better!!
What advice do you have for someone who wants to get the CSCS but doesn’t know how to start and has a degree in education and not the exercise science field!
